All I can say is.... You better take a cold shower while you're reading this. Also no matter what form a male is in, they're all dumb sometimes. I did enjoy this series, but there was a lot of smut. I mean who doesn't love smut? But sometimes it just took over the story and it got a little repetitive. I do want to read the next one though.

You’re killing me smalls. (Ann Denton)
My heart and mind are wrapped into this book and I honestly hate series unless I know they are complete. I’m hoping this one is.

I discovered Ann Denton through Silver Springs and it was love at first sight. Last week I read the first book in one of her fantasy series and she reminded me once again what I loved so much in Ruby. I was therefore quite happy when one of my arc groups managed to get this book! I didn't know how fast I had to let everyone know that I really wanted this book and as soon as the arc arrived I wanted to start this story. I hadn't really checked what it was about, but I didn't doubt it would be good.

After reading this book I can never say again that I only like Omegaverse when it's Sweetverse. I'm quite certain this doesn't count as Sweetverse and yet I enjoyed it anyway. Denton really creates this amazing tension between our main characters. I could almost feel the electricity between them and there were so many moments I was screaming at the characters to do something. Rarely they did what I wanted, which was equally frustrating and exciting.

I was also quite surprised that there was so much politics and mythology in this book. I really enjoyed the constant danger of the other pack and the possibility that all this would turn into a pack war. I also really liked that, even though this is Omegaverse and even though there is a lot of tension between the characters, the mythology made the alpha work really hard and made it even possible for him to fail.

That's also because our omega grew up thinking she was an alpha. She's not the typical sweet omega, curling up in her nest and depending on her alpha for everything. She grew up as an independent woman and she knows what she wants and doesn't want. That means there is a constant fight between her body and her mind going on and it makes it interesting to watch her deal with everything that's happening to her and because of her.

I'm addicted and now I want and need more!
